We need our neighbors from all walks of life to come together to defeat the authoritarianism that costs us everything. We can’t just call people out, we need to call people in. Bring everybody along with us on our movement for unity and progress. #AngieForFlorida #volusiacounty #Florida

Try telling a voter you had the majority, that you control the rules, and let a rule beat you anyway. See how that goes.

Rick Scott is a criminal who should be in prison not serving as a senator. But then I guess he’s not any different from any other Republican. They’re all criminals and reprobates.

People are saying those seven rapists should be prosecuted. I agree. BUT I also think that all 57 frat bros who read and commented on that Snap Chat should be prosecuted for aiding and abetting. Prosecute them all. Otherwise let’s get out the tar and feathers.

A Steve Rattner Chart That Deserves Much More Attention
There is something important happening in the economy that is not breaking into the broader public conversation. We should all be worried about it. Look at this chart from Steve Rattner I saw on…

I was trying to figure out why Trump banned Politico from the White House along with CNN and MSNOW. Now I get it. This fascist regime can't have media outlets in the building that reveal to voters how Trump and Hegseth gifted our military technology to the Chinese.

@gregpalast.bsky.social has released yet another great piece of research to show how the Republicans can only win by cheating. They aren’t winning because more people agree with them, they’re winning because they keep kicking democratic voters off the roles. Read this : substack.com/home/post/p-...

For years Republicans have been pushing this whole “we aren’t a democracy” garbage. I always debated them on this topic. Now I agree. The U.S. isn’t a democracy. We’re a Kleptocracy. The entire Republican Party is a criminal enterprise engaged in organized crime.

We & the media are NOT talking enough about how a Florida grand jury found that $10 million was funneled from a settlement intended to benefit Florida taxpayers to Ron DeSantis’s wife’s illegitimate “charity” (that never registered with the IRS), where it was laundered before it got to the FLA GOP.

I don’t mind giving money to politicians I support. In fact I actually budget for it. But you know what I absolutely loathe ? ActBlue. I’m sick of the fact that no matter how many times I hit Stop or Spam ActBlue sends 5 or 6 texts ever few hours. It really makes me regret giving.

I doubt that I’ll ever be famous… but on the off chance I get really famous and then pass away before Trump, I want everyone to know that I didn’t like him. Don’t let that greasy fukkker say, “Oh he really liked me” I hate that sumbitch with the passion of 10,000 suns going nova.

I get all the liberal outrage over the Republicans lauding Dolly, while undermining all her good work (support of LGBT, fighting AIDS, standing up for women, her literacy efforts for poor children) all I can is I ain’t surprised. Have y’all not seen what they do with Jesus ?

For many many years I consistently voted 3rd party. Trump’s first term convinced me that I HAD to vote Blue no matter who… @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social just killed that idea. I’d rather go back to being in a third party than having a sellout quisling Democrat leader undermining its base.
